Re: Fillable form/checklist - what to call it?

[Thorsten Konersmann <tk -at- documentation -dot- engineering>]

In the DITA standard, itâs called âprerequisitesâ (see
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/prereq.html). But in
our case, itâs just a short list directly before step-by-step instructions,
i.e., not as elaborate as yours.
